Abstract: |
This
paper proposes a component-based software architecture (Theatre) hosted by Java, which enables modelling and discrete-event simulation of complex and
dynamically reconfigurable systems, possibly on top of a distributed
computing context. At the “programming in-the-small” level, Theatre rests on light-weight
reactive components (actors or agents) which interact to one another by
asynchronous message-passing. Actor behaviour
is modelled by a finite state machine.
Actors can be easily composed to create new reusable components. At the
“programming in-the-large” level a subsystem of actors can be assigned to an
execution locus (theatre). A theatre provides to local agents the basic
message scheduling, dispatching, communication and mobility services. The
paper describes component- based M&S support of Theatre and demonstrates its practical use through examples. |
